Will Update, have an appointment at 10 so there may be a little delay

Chad Johnson ‏@ochocinco
Dolphins are the only other species besides humans who can recognize & admire themselves in the mirror... Don't let your mirror fool you...

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero
Dolphins are moving up their scrimmage time from 9:15 to 8:15 at Sun Life for weather considerations. Good to get work in. Bad for fans.

Chad Johnson ‏@ochocinco
That was a warm up RT @OrlandoAloisi: I can't wait to see ur next interview, I got to put a diaper on first, almost pissed myself last time!

Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley
Made it to Sun Life before 8:15, miraculously. Scrimmage should run until 10:30 a.m.

Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley
If it wasn't for the ticket giveaway to the first 1,000 fans, there might not be anyone here. Pretty decent crowd, given the circumstances.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
If you haven't gotten to the stadium yet, no worries. Not sure the players are here yet. It's sunny as can be.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Jake Long and Richie Incognito lead the Miami Dolphins out of the tunnel to begin practice at Sun Life Stadium.

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero
Sun Life sans baseball infield in August.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Press box announcer: "Welcome to today's contest between the Miami Dolphins and the Miami Dolphins."

Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley
Players take the field. Clyde Gates is in pads, looks ready to return.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Second song of today's Dolphins stretch is Rick Ross "These haters can't hold me back."

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Third song is French Montana's "Don't Stop."

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Brian Hartline off to the side with Jonas Gray, both rehabbing injuries.

Ben Volin ‏@BenVolinPBP
#Dolphins warming up at Sun Life Stadium. Sun is absolutely brutal in the press box. I'm frying

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero
I expect David Garrard will "start" at quarterback for today's scrimmage. He should get most of the first-team snaps.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Matt Moore gets the first run during 7-on-7. I'm pretty sure he'll start the first exhibition game.

Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley
Vontae Davis and Sean Smith working with the starters in "skelly" drills.

Jesse Agler ‏@finsjesse
http://Dolphins.com writer @Andy_Kent bringing in the footlong hot dog from the concession stand...not even 9am. Impressive.

Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley
Marlon Moore had a pass from Ryan Tannehill in the breadbasket, but dropped it.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Marlon Moore just dropped a Ryan Tannehill pass during 7-on-7. Good back shoulder throw.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Ryan Tannehill shows off his arm with a laser of a sideline pass to Roberto Wallace.

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero
Lydon Murtha is back at second-team RT today.

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero
CORRECTION: Lydon Murtha is working at LEFT tackle. Weird.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Daniel Thomas on kickoff return.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Dolphins are doing kickoffs. Julius Pruitt and Marcus Thigpen are the top returners.

Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley
Julius Pruitt and Marcus Thigpen back to return the opening "kick." Thigpen fields.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Error, I meant Marcus Thigpen.

Ben Volin ‏@BenVolinPBP

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Fumbled snap then Garrard to Bush.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Legedu Naanee pulled a pass out of the hands of Nolan Carrol with one hand. Pace of play has picked up considerably

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Dolphins have had four runs in a row with the ball on the 17.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Garrard with a pass on an inside slant to Chad Johnson, who drops it. Should have caught it.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Drive ends with a 35-yard field goal by Dan Carpenter.

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero
First drive of scrimmage, Chad Johnson drops a third-down pass inside the 5 yard line, forcing offense to kick a FG.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Scoring drive was 12 plays, 53 yards.

Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley
First drive in, with Garrard as starter, should have been 6. Johnson dropped a TD pass. Settles for Carpenter 34 yd FG. 3-0 offense.

Jesse Agler ‏@finsjesse
First drive of scrimmage ends with 34 (or maybe 35) yard FG from Carpenter. 85 with a drop on 3rd down. Garrard 4-6 for ~34 yds on drive.

Ben Volin ‏@BenVolinPBP
Lamar Miller and Marcus Thigpen work as the first two kickoff returners. Miller just took his back about 50 yards

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Lamar Miller awakens the crowd with a 29-yard kickoff return.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Tyrone Culver breaks up a TD pass to Chad @ochocinco and forces the Dolphins to kick a field goal.

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero
The KR battle between Lamar Miller and \Marcus Thigpen will be fun this preseason. Both have been impressive.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Matt Moore leading the second-team offense. Lamar Miller is the running back.

Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley
Marshall in at corner with first-team defense. V. Davis on bench.

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero

Someone asked me today which undrafted guy I think will make the team. I'm going with Josh Samuda, working at backup center

Keep in mind David Garrard was going against the 2nd team defense. Matt Moore has the 2nd team O-line and 1st team defense.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Matt Moore completes a pass to Michael Egnew for 9 yards, then same play to Jeron Mastrud to pick up a first down.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero
Matt Moore's second-team O picks up a first down but punts again versus starting D. #QBjobslippingfromgrasp.

Matt Moore starts the third series. Garrard had started the first. No Ryan Tannehill to this point.

Miami Dolphins ‏@MiamiDolphins
Another stand by the Dolphins' first-team defense, followed by a 57-yard punt by Brandon Fields. #FinsCamp

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero
Matt Moore and second team O goes three-and-out vs. first-team D again. Great rush by D. Murtha is NOT a LT.

Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley
In three drives, Moore is 4 of 9 for 21 yards, according to me very rough stats.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
RT @davidcanter: Fans in (Sun Life Stadium) stands chanting we want Ryan (Tannehill). Incredible.

Ben Volin ‏@BenVolinPBP
Probably 2,000-3,000 fans in attendance #Tannchise RT@davidcanter: Fans in stands chanting we want Ryan. Incredible.

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero
And now Ryan Tannehill will get his first live scrimmage action at the stadium he's supposed to own in the future.

On 3rd and 5, Tannehill zips one to Bess, but a gain of just four. Punt on his first possession.

Still have yet to see any "good on good" in this scrimmage. IEach drive is 1's vs 2's

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Tannehill comes out again with 1st team.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Tannehil with a bullet on the inside slant by Chad Johnson.

Tannehill rapidly moving the offense on three straight completions followed by a Lamar Miller run.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Ryan Tannehill is working against the second team defense.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Tannehill with a play action right lofts a touchdown pass to Fasano, loud cheers for the first TD of the day.

---- UPDATE 2 ----

Ben Volin ‏@BenVolinPBP
Touchdown Dolphins ..... for them. Tannehill floats a perfect pass over the LB to Fasano on the run for a 25 yard touchdown

Armando Salguero
‏@ArmandoSalguero

RT @finsjesse: Tannehill 26-yd TD pass to Fasano on a play action roll out to the right. Looked like broken play, h

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Tannehill completed all five passes on the 6 play, 70-yard touchdown drive capped with a TD pass to Anthony Fasano.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Tannehill is 7-of-8 passing for 77 yds and a touchdown in two drives

david canter ‏@davidcanter
Dolphins looking at Matt Moore rep wise more than any QB. Think they have serious questions about his status here

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Matt Moore drive started at the 26, and another three-and-out. Dan Carpenter hits a 40-yard field goal.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
David Garrard gets his second possession now starting from the 26.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Garrard: minus 1-yard pass to Clay, imcomplete, deep pass to Chad Johnson (15), pass to Naanee (3), sack by Spitler, pbk by Culver.

Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley
Garrard, back with the 1s, is nearly picked by Tyrone Culver in the back of the end zone. Another FG by Carpenter, this one from 27.

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero
Matt Moore's saving grace so far is he's facing starting D while playing with backups. Garrard, Tannehill playing w/ starters vs. backup D.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
In good news, Dan Carpenter hits his third field goal, a 27-yarder.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Ryan Tannehill now out there.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Dan Carpenter 51-yard field goal attempt tipped and wide left.

Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley
Shocker: Tannehill finds it much easier to move the ball against the second-team defense than the first.

Izzy Gould ‏@IzzyGould
Tannehill against the 1s: Incomplete pass into double coverage almost INT; compelte to 35 (0); fumbled snap, Wake sack; 51-yd FG wide left.

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero

---- UPDATE 3 ----

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero
Woops, Marcus Thigpen has punt bound off his pads. Picks it up but smothered by then. Can't have that.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Marcus Thigpen drops his punt. Looks like he should be handling kickoffs and not punts.

Miami Dolphins ‏@MiamiDolphins
Back to an 11-on-11 scrimmage. Matt Moore leading the first-team offense against the first-team defense. #FinsCamp

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero

Scoreboard shows a fan in Sanchez #Jets T-shirt and another in a Wilfork #Pats jersey. Fans voice their disapproval

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Jeron Mastrud just caught a 30-yard pass from Pat Devlin, who is impressing me compared to last year.

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero
Ryan Tannehill was the most effective QB today.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
The Dolphins have finished the scrimmage.

Ben Volin ‏@BenVolinPBP
Tannchise throwing with Bush, Ocho and Hogan after practice

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero
Ryan Tannehill missed the first two days of practice. Does he think he's caught up? "Yeah, I think so."

Ben Volin ‏@BenVolinPBP
Hard Knocks loves seeing Tannchise signing autographs

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Koa Misi said the receivers made the rookies do sharpie mustaches.

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero
Joe Philbin said team hasn't had a bad practice yet. Having said that, he's concerned about shotgun snaps. Ball has been on ground too much.

Ben Volin ‏@BenVolinPBP
Tannehill just autographed a coconut. That is all

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Jeff Fuller revealed on WQAM the rookie offensive linemen had their eye brows shaved.

Jonathan A. Martin ‏@J_Martin71
First time playing in Sun Life Stadium since the Orange Bowl

Jonathan A. Martin ‏@J_Martin71
There's no feeling like being on the team bus w/ a police escort & seeing the Stadium appear on the horizon.. You know it's #gametime

Ben Volin ‏@BenVolinPBP
Half of you love "Tannchise" and half of you despise it. Sorry, but I think it's gonna stick

Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley
Richard Marshall, who started at corner today instead of Vontae Davis, told me he didn't take a single snap with the backups.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
"Coach Sherman prepared me for the west coast offense. The playbook is isn't the same. The concepts are," Dolphins WR Jeff Fuller.

Jonas Gray ‏@jgray_ND25
Great to workout at Sun Life Stadium; Great place to call my new home and will enjoy protecting this house all year long #FinsUp #BIM

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Jeff Fuller estimates that about 60% of the Dolphins offense is a carry over from what he ran at Texas A&M.

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
Scrimmage results. Matt Moore 10-20, 65 yds, TD David Garrard 9-17, 57 yds TD Ryan Tannehill 10-13, 114 yds TD

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero

Josh Kaddu ‏@JoshKaddu
Scrimmage went well.defense is coming more and more.the work continues...BIM

Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley
Not that I saw. Worked primarily as the first-team nickel. RT@Phinatic8u: @AdamHBeasley So did Vontae get reps with 2s?

Ben Volin ‏@BenVolinPBP
Fasano said all of the TEs are sporting fu manchu mustaches. Rookie Michael Egnew can't grow one, so they drew it with a Sharpie

Adam Beasley ‏@AdamHBeasley
Announced crowd today: 8,721.

Ben Volin ‏@BenVolinPBP
The amount of anger expressed by some of you over a silly nickname is quite astounding. Deep breaths.....

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
RT @drew_blanchette: any notice of our boy Westerman today?» I saw one sack (or pressure).

Omar Kelly ‏@OmarKelly
"You don't want to set your feet when you've got him," Dolphins OLBer Koa Misi said about defending Reggie Bush

Nice day from Tanny ....

I still wish to know why Philbin what this insistence is in on running 2's vs 1's is or 1's vs. 2's when either Garrard/Moore are in. What is the point of that? You want a real look at these guys? You need snaps with starters on starters. I don't think I've ever read training camp updates where this strategy was so heavily employed. Makes no sense to me.
 
ya doesnt make sense to me either... only thing i can think of is to instill confidence in the ones and make the 2s better... but if the ones dont get some work vs other ones its gonna be a rude awakening come week 1.

I've seen both basketball and football coaches do this when they want to work on timing and execution as a team unit early in team preparation. It looks like this was his priority rather than evaluation. I'm guessing they feel (and I'd agree) that there are more accurate ways of evaluating players than a scrimmage in which a team is playing against the people they practice with every day against schemes that they are already familiar with. A scrimmage because of personnel is not a game experience even if they are "playing".

Huh?

They've done this in both TC practices and now the scrimmage.

It's hard to work on timing an execution from a "team sport" perspective if the talent levels are constantly lopsided on one side of the both compared to another. No "one" man is gonna elevate the 2nd string offense vs. our No.1 defense. Sorry isn't gonna happen. If Garrard has been the one who was the clear-cut No.1 up to this point, let the man take 1's vs 1's already and let Tanny/Moore battle for No.2 .... otherwise I don't understand the concepts they're using.

Again, I've seen a lot of coaches do it in team sports in the early stages. Maybe you don't agree with the philosophy. I think you'll see less of this as camp goes on.

Hope so .... trying to take camp reports seriously has been a real chore.
 
Thanks for the tweets!

This is a veeeeeery early scrimmage, but several QB's got TD's and we saw some good accuracy numbers, so there's a lot to be happy about. Most of the 1v2's just gives the coaches a chance to see how the 2's really do against the real competition. The success of the 1's are expected and made more notable when it doesn't happen. It's really a chance for the 2's to prove they belong with the 1's.

I'm most happy to see Tannehill and Devlin doing well, because this is a bigger deal for them than the veteran QB's IMHO. Our WR's still had several drops though, which is disturbing to me, particularly Chad.

me three ther!!! Whats with that??

That's part of the problem, right? We don't know what to take seriously at this time. We don't see a lot of chances to make "apples to apples" comparisons, we don't know why the coaches are doing what they're doing, we get incomplete reports from "experts"....

We've even seen how preseason games aren't necessarily an indicator of regular season performance but I sure don't want to see the chaos that we've seen in recent years.

I'll feel better when I actually get to have the fun of making my own bad judgments based on my own biased observations like all the other fans.
